#989 AHCC Extract which Potentially Can Attenuate Immunological Toxicity in Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors after Treatment with the Radioisotope Preparation (90Y-DOTA-TATE): An Initial Report

Introduction: Active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) is an alfa-glucan nutritional supplement made from the mycelia of Lentinula edodes mushroom. Human clinical studies have shown that AHCC significantly improves immune response, increases normal NK cell activity and enhances macrophage and T‑cell activity.

#115 68Ga-DOTA-TATE PET-CT comparison with 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC SPECT-CT in the assessment of the extent of the disease in patients with malignant endocrine tumors: our experience (preliminary results)

Introduction: In neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), the workup is often difficult not only to visualize but also to co-localize the lesions anatomically. Liver and bones are one of the most frequent sites of metastases in patients with endocrine tumors. The Tyr3-octreotate (TATE) somatostatin analogue differs from TOC in that the terminal threonine replaces threoninol. The terminal threonine results in a higher receptor binding (mainly subtype 2) and better internalisation, with the consequence that tumor uptake of the tracer is intense.
